Doors, The Lyrics for Song: The Wasp (Texas Radio And The Big Beat)
 Lyrics for Album: L.A. Woman
 
 
 
 1415>I wanna tell you 'bout Texas Radio and the Big Beat
 Comes out of the Virginia swamps
 Cool and slow with plenty of precision
 With a back beat narrow and hard to master
 
 Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance
 Others, mean and rueful of the Western dream
 I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft
 We have constructed pyramids in honor of our escaping
 This is the land where the Pharaoh died
 
 The Negroes in the forest brightly feathered
 They are saying, "Forget the night.
 Live with us in forests of azure.
 Out here on the perimeter there are no stars
 Out here we is stoned - immaculate."
 
 Listen to this, and I'll tell you 'bout the heartache
 I'll tell you 'bout the heartache and the lose of God
 I'll tell you 'bout the hopeless night
 The meager food for souls forgot
 I'll tell you 'bout the maiden with wrought iron soul
 
 I'll tell you this
 No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn
 
 I'll tell you 'bout Texas Radio and the Big Beat
 Soft drivin', slow and mad, like some new language
 
 Now, listen to this, and I'll tell you 'bout the Texas
 I'll tell you 'bout the Texas Radio
 I'll tell you 'bout the hopeless night
 Wandering the Western dream
 Tell you 'bout the maiden with wrought iron soul
 
 1415>
